Ferid Murad

Ferid Murad is a physician and pharmacologist. He is a Nobel Laureate in Physiology or Medicine 1998. He shared the award with Robert F. Furchgott and Louis J. Ignarro. Murad, Ignarro and Furchgott all worked independently to find out that nitroglycerin and related drugs worked by releasing nitric oxide into the body which dilates the blood vessels i.e. increases the diameter of blood vessels. Furchgott explained that Nitric oxide in the blood triggers endothelium-derived relaxing factor (EDRF) which is responsible for vasodilatation.

Murad worked on nitric oxide demonstrating that it acts as a as a signaling molecule in the blood. This effect led to development of Viagra. Murad showed that nitric oxide regulates the activity of various body organs including brain, lungs, kidneys, liver and genitals.
